NextPhase intersection management
software is a next-generation approach
structured to satisfy the most
demanding of modern traffic signal
control applications. NextPhase is
easily configured and maintained by field operations/maintenance personnel. NextPhase is designed to tap
the power of the new Advanced Transportation Controllers, such as the Model 2070 controller. These "open
platform" ATC controllers separate hardware from application software by defining a common controller
hardware platform upon which multiple application software packages from multiple developers can operate.
Open systems protect agency investments and reduce life-cycle costs by assuring a mechanism for agencies
to upgrade software and functionality without being tied to a single supplier for these upgrades. NextPhase
was designed from the ground up to take full advantage of open platform ATCs and provide capabilities not
previously available.
NextPhase is more than just traffic signal controller software. It is a fully distributed intersection
management package designed for optimal isolated or system coordinated management. The package can
support extensive local traffic optimization capabilities and flexible coordinated operation. Communications
capabilities include California's AB3418 and the National Transportation Communications for ITS Protocol.
Features
NextPhase takes advantage of the power of ATC controllers to
provide a rich array of features: Supports 40 phases, 20 rings, 26 barriers, 20 overlaps, 10
preempts, and up to 250 plans. Rings can be set to operate independently (without barriers),
or they can be synchronized as groups (with one or more
common barriers). Any phase or overlap can be assigned for vehicle and/or
pedestrian actuated operation. The software configuration flexibility allows many special
control configurations including: Left-turn / pedestrian overlaps Multiple intersection control from a single controller Up to 10 preempts configurable for railroad or
emergency vehicle operation Cabinet Input/Output function mappings are completely user-
definable. A single software version can support both NEMA,
170-type, and custom cabinet configurations. Each field input (i.e. detector) can be assigned to act on any
defined phase or overlap for vehicle and/or pedestrian
actuation. Inputs can be combined via boolean logic. A phase
or overlap can have any number of assigned inputs. Supports high-speed system communications using standard
AB3418 or NTCIP protocols. Easy-to-use menu driven user interface with spreadsheet
style data entry and multi-table parameter database. Access
to controller database may be password protected. Up to 250 timing sets including all timing parameters may be
stored in the controller database. All timing parameters can be
changed by time of day. For ease of use, typical cabinet mappings and phasing
configurations are pre-defined in the controller database and
may be customized from there. Optional interface to Adaptive Traffic Control Systems such as
RHODES. (Requires permission of the University of
Arizona.)
Controller Options
The NextPhase software is designed to operate on the Model
2070 controller hardware and other compatible "open" ATCs.
NextPhase is the only traffic control software that operates on
all 2070 platforms conforming to the Caltrans TEES / ATC Type
2070 Standard.
The Caltrans Model 2070 specification currently provides for
different versions of the controller. The original Model 2070 (or
2070C) is configured for operation in a Model 33x(170-type)
cabinet with standard C connectors. The Model 2070N is
configured for operation in a NEMA cabinet using ABCD
connectors.
Caltrans has recently developed multiple optional configurations
for Model 2070 controllers. Some features such as the front
panel display, VME bus, and power supply can be changed or
omitted for applications not requiring the features of a fully
equipped 2070 controller. These options allow for lower cost
controller configurations while maintaining the same software
compatibility and cabinet interface options. NextPhase will
operate on any of the different Model 2070 controller
configurations.

Siemens ITS provides leading-edge traffic technology for
the fast-paced Intelligent Transportation Systems world.
Whether providing local controllers, controller firmware,
central systems, system analysis, design, integration, or
consulting services, Siemens ITS brings innovative and
reliable solutions to customers.
Siemens ITS is the result of combining the resources of
two Siemenss companies, Gardner Transportation
Systems and Eagle Traffic Control Systems, into a single
company focused on providing leading-edge technology
and high quality system analysis, design, integration, and
consulting services.
Gardner Transportation Systems was founded in 1994 as
Gardner Associates, and has been a part of the Siemens
family for more than two years. Internationally known and
respected for their consulting services as well as their
intelligent system products, Gardner provides the complete
transportation design package.
Eagle Traffic Control Systems was the synthesis of Eagle
Signal and Automatic Signal and has been a part of the
Siemens family for five years. With a strong history of
proven controller and signal technology and a fresh
approach to central system design, Eagles products
define state-of-the-art traffic control.
Together now, as Siemens ITS, we have a long history of
quality and innovation in transportation control and
management. Coupled with proven products and
development experience, as well as highly regarded
consulting services, we form the worlds foremost traffic
control and transportation management company.
Siemens ITS is very active in the development of new
industry standards, with strong representation on various
NEMA, NTCIP, and ITS standards committees. Through
our representation on these committees, we have helped
to form positive industry standards while using the results
of these commitments to develop new state-of-the-art
products. The firm is also playing a leading role in the
development of the Adaptive Control System Lite (ACS
Lite), NTCIP C2C, and Advanced Traffic Controller
Specifications.
As a member of the Siemens family, Siemens ITS shares
resources with Siemens Traffic Control Systems in Munich,
Germany and Siemens Traffic Controls Limited in Poole,
England. New development is being coordinated between
the companies to ensure a common architecture and
compatibility of their components. With a $4.9 billion
annual budget for research and development, Siemens
remains a leader in the development of new technologies
and the enhancement of existing ones.
